Back in February, Ukrainian developer Readdle gave its Documents for iOS app a thorough makeover, adding features like a much polished iPad interface with iOS 7-friendly styling, in-app integration with other Readdle apps, a brand new file manager and much more.

If you import audio files into Documents, the app now lets you play music in the background so you can, say, read a PDF document as the music plays. Speaking of PDFs, the new Documents at last includes a full-featured e-book reader…

Compatible with ePub and FB2 standards, the built-in e-reader makes it fun to consume the vast majority of downloadable e-books with features like bookmarks, page thumbnails, sepia/night mode and more.

As for other document types, the app now supports continuous scrolling, just like in PDF Expert 5. And if you own Readdle’s other apps like PDF Expert 5, Scanner Pro or Printer Pro, you’ll be able to take advantage of deep in-app integration on your iPhone, too. Previously, add-ons were limited to the iPad.

Integration with other Readdle apps extends Documents’ functionality by making it easy to perform extra tasks provided by these apps without ever leaving Documents.

Key highlights include:

Background Music – Listen to your favorite music with no interruptions in background mode.

Full-featured Book Reader – The new ePub and FB2 readers allow you to read almost any book with various settings: sepia or night mode, fast bookmarks, thumbnails and much more.

Is there a tweak that auto-opens an app on startup? Documents is by far the most useful app I’ve ever downloaded…after iFile

What do you mean with “startup”. You can almost launch anything almost anytime with the right assignment in Activator, time schedules, after unlocking, launching a specific app, gesture etc.

Oh don’t take me so seriously, I just wanted to say how incredibly useful this app is to me 🙂 since I use my ipad mostly for studying, if I could switch it on directly inside Documents it would be cool!
